Jack Sawyer Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So I decided to "test" the 717. Made my usual maneuvers and it was a success. Made two quite satisfying autolands too. Very pleased with that. This plane is very good, I'd recommend it but be prepared to change your way of thinking about avionics, McDonell Douglas designed some pretty odd things. Bob Hoover was in the back pouring coffee It gets better! Wheeeeeeee! LOC and G/S active, let's do an autoland Very pleased with this jet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Great to see you flying it by the book Jack. BTW they just took the author of the book out the back and shot him! Great set, I like the colours on this 717, quite unusual. Excellent landing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, the one thing I really love to do with the PMDG NGX, 777, 747, and the 717 is autolands. Having been on many many many real life autolands in the cockpits it's always a thrill to see my system work so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
